Finally, somewhere that might have users who grasp the whole Roland drum brain thing!
I'm struggling slowly but surely through the MIDI challenges involved in my setup (SPD-8, SPD-20 and a TD-8 with VDrum pads), but there are 2 issues that keep resurfacing.
First, the SPD-8 only seems to be able to trigger a sorely limited amount of sounds from the SPD-20, and those sounds won't edit at all. Suggestions on unlocking the deep dark secrets to this?
---------
The second problem is much harder to explain. I'm using all the trigger inputs on the TD-8, plus it's being triggered by 3 of the 8 SPD pads via MIDI. I was able to "find" the room for these on the TD-8 by scrolling down the note # on each SPD pad (channel 10) until the Edit screen on the TD-8 showed a trigger sounding that wasn't one of the VDrum pads plugged into the back. In other words, I have the 3 SPD pads registering as triggers plugged into the back ot the TD-8, as least as far as the TD-8 is concerned. Those 3 sounds are completely programmable, just like the triggers plugged into the back of the TD-8.
How do I get the TD-8 to recognize the other 5 pads? I can't seem to get the TD-8 to recognize any other note numbers coming in from the SPD-8, with the exception of a series of percussion sounds. They'll trigger from the TD-8, but the Edit mode on the TD doesn't seem to realize the sounds are triggering.
Hope the second one made sense. Anybody? Bueller? Bueller?
